OPERATION
6.2 Connecting the Mower-Pull Type
1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the
correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is
extended 14” from the end of the PTO shaft
to the hitch point.
2. Block the mower wheels in place and use the
attached parking jack to raise or lower the
tongue clevis to the height of the tractor draw-
bar. The parking jack can be rotated 15
degrees in each direction to obtain a near
vertical position. Note: Always place jack foot
on firm surface or place board under jack for
support.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Back
the tractor to the mower aligning the drawbar
hitch hole with the mower hitch clevis. Turn
off the engine, secure the tractor in position,
and dismount.
4. To attach the mower, place two 1” flatwashers
(1) positioned under top lip of tongue clevis
and to the top of drawbar. Add additional 1”
flatwashers (2) between the bottom of draw-
bar and bottom lip of clevis to fill open space.
Insert a 3/4” x 4-1/2” grade 5 or 8 bolt (3)
through clevis and drawbar and retain in posi-
tion with a 1” locknut (4). The bolt and lock-
nut should be tightened securely to support
the tongue properly without springing of
breaking the clevis. Never attach mower to
the tractor with a pin not having a nut.
5. Securely attach mower safety chain from
mower tongue to tractor drawbar or drawbar
support frame.
6. Lower the jack until the tongue is completely
supported by the drawbar. Remove jack from the tongue and place on storage bracket of mower main
frame.
